B

Three covalent bonds

C

Two covalent bonds

D

Dipole moment

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
Critical temperature of water is higher than that of `O_(2)` because `H_(2)O` molecule has dipole moment Its two covalent bonds are at an angle of `104.5^(@)` to each other and the dipole moment vectors do not cancel each other .
